If You’re Planning A Shower Using Atlanta Water This Weekend PLEASE READ

Here are the Boil Water Advisory Do’s & Don’ts provided by the Mayor’s Office:

DWM issued a boil water advisory out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with Georgia EPD guidance for public advisory. In order to protect the public from a potential health hazard, all residents and property owners that have experienced water outages and/or low water pressures are advised to boil all water prior to use, or use bottled water, for drinking, cooking, preparing baby food or brushing teeth. The water should be boiled for one minute past a rolling boil. Infants, the elderly and those with immune deficiencies should be particularly cautious. Do not drink water from public water fountains in the impacted area.

The boil water advisory is issued for the following areas:

Downtown Atlanta to the south including parts of South Fulton County, East to Moreland Avenue and west of downtown may have experienced a loss of pressure. Affected areas include, but are not limited to Cabbagetown, Edgewood, Old Fourth Ward, West End, Peoplestown, Reynoldstown, Mechanicsville, Summerhill, Edgewood, Avon Avenue and South Fulton County.
